LOL updates? what are those?
toyota has had the "update coming summer 2012" banner up on the entune site for months.
Ummm...summer's over toyota.
and how would i know an update if i saw one since they dont state wha the current, latest version is.
Sorry for all the sarcasm, but toyota sucks in the entune department.
The version I have is what mine came with a month ago when i bought it.

I have a 2012 sr5 with entune. I received a USB flash drive about a month ago from Toyota with the new entune update loaded on it. I was not signed up with entune at the time, so you don't need to be a "member" to get the update.
With your truck being a month old there are 2 scenarios, either the dealer already loaded the entune update, or you are not in the Toyota national computer system yet for them to send you an update USB drive.
There are threads on here where people are talking about getting the program and putting it on their own USB drive.
Good luck.

steps to pair MAP
Email protocol still does not work, it is grayed out as usual. Also, calender doesn't work as far as I know, but I believe if someone sends you a calender invite to an event, it will show as a notification like the text messages do. I haven't received one while driving but someone told me that works.
Here are the exact steps I took to enable MAP correctly. I'm sure most these steps aren't unnecessary but I will explain EXACTLY what I did in case nothing else works.
1. "Forget" old bluetooth connection on iPhone (in Bluetooth settings)
2. Delete old connection pairing on Entune Display Audio
3. Turn bluetooth off on your iPhone, close all open apps, and restart phone (I did this to be safe, probably not neccesary)
4. Turn car off (just to reset everything)
5. Turn iPhone on and turn Bluetooth back on, till is says disoverable
6. Turn car on and go to your Entune screen, go to Setup>Bluetooth>Pair New Device
Now you have the option to pair through the phone or through the car (i.e. phone discovers car, or car discovers phone). I paired through car (I let my car discover my phone) in order to get this to work.
8. Now pair phone and hit confirm on phone and car when prompted, I hit the phone confirmation first, then the car. (not sure if order matters)
Now your Bluetooth audio and phone will say your connected, Entune (Internet) of course will not (still trying to figure this out, I have an idea though)
9. Go to the phone page on your Entune unit, where you can normally can see your outgoing/incoming calls.
10. Click the bottom left icon, the "Message" button, it will tell you "Text Message are not available" (same as what you are used to).
11. Now shut your car off (don't ask me why I did it this way)
12. Open your iPhone Bluetooth settings again and cllick on the new car connection you made to get into it's settings (the name of your car or whatever it is named by default "CAR MULTIMEDIA" I think)
14. You will see the option to turn on "Notifications", so turn it on.
16. Turn your car on and go to the message tab again on the phone screen. It will take a minute and to set up and stop loading. (Note when it's finished, it doesn't transfer any old messages to the inbox, only messages received going forward when your phone is on and your car is on).
17. Now have a friend send you a message to test it, it should say "Text Message Recieved" when one comes in, and you can click on them and play them over the audio using the NAV lady's voice.
Sending yourself a text doesn't work, I tired, you need one from another device. You can also email your cell phone number to SMS to test. For instance, Verizon is (10 digit number)@vtext.com
Anyway, this worked for me, I doubt all these steps are neccesary but I wanted to be very thorough in case it wasn't working for some people. Because at first I tried turning the notificaitons on in the bluetooth menu without shutting my car off and it didn't seem to work. Also first, I tried pairing the car to the phone (through my phone's menu) which pairs fine, but it also wasn't getting messages after I tried it this way.
Hope this helps.

There you go digitalwiz. I posted yesterday to let people know it works, but I really didn't have time to type all the steps up yesterday at work (trust me I was going to do it, just needed some free time), as you can see it was a lot of small steps. Anyway, you can address me if you want an answer, rather than call me "the guy".
So, I will try these steps again on my car, and see if it works for me again (yes mine works so I shouldn't be messing with it, but I don't subscribe to the whole 'don't fix it if it's not broken idea'). Also, I will try eliminating some of the steps to see what the simplest procedure is to make it easier on people trying to get MAP text notifications working. Might not happen today so I apologize if I get someone too excited, but I do have to work at times lol. For now, try the steps I posted above and let me know your experiences.
Cheers,
:guitar3:

Do you have Entune?

I don't think so. Entune only became available for the 2012 +
If you don't have "APPS" on your screen, you don't have Entune.

Same here :lasercannon:
Have not tried it with the wife's phone just yet. I myself use Android.

Thanks Nick. This procedure worked for me as well. Still not seamless integration, but at least a step in the right direction.
coversion,
Good to hear it is working for others. Too bad it doesn't sync your old texts like it syncs call history, but I guess I don't really go back and read old texts very often anyway, so I think it's a pretty nice feature to have your car read your texts if they come in while you're driving.
I just hope Toyota release an entune update to get internet over bluetooth. My method I said I was working on failed. Oh well, guess I'll have to plug in the USB for now, or wait for an update.
Peace

I was able to get the messages to come up using the steps posted above, awesome thanks! But... when I was using the map app to navigate through DC the other night I received a text, hit the screen to read the text and the map decided to redirect me. ARGH! I may have fat fingered it but it happen twice anyone have a similar issue?
Undert0e,
I think you actually can't hit the overlay that pops up that says New Text Message. It's not a button, just a notification in my experience. You actually have to navigate to the message app, (I just hit the" Phone Handle" hard button above the Apps hard button, then you click the message button on the display.) Then you can read or hear your text.
Not sure why they don't make a shortcut button pop up when the text comes in. Maybe on the next firmware update.

OK Mr. Entune wizard you have given me text messaging NOW I want more! E-mail and calendaring. Thanks, BTW for your detailed instructions for text messaging, works like a charm!
Any ideas on why some of my album art comes across on the screen and others do not in BT mode (not USB connected)? I am fastidious about having all of the album art on my iPhone 5.

They probably won't include a short cut like that unless the vehicle is in park. You know since it's illegal to text and drive.
